Facilities that support differentiated learning are the availability of complete facilities and infrastructure. Evaluation of different product results, namely by referring to learning objectives. The most appropriate differentiated learning model is the PJBL/PBL learning model. ideally, the number of students in differentiated learning is between 10-25 students. An effective and constructive learning environment greatly influences the process of developing the quality of teachers and students in the school environment.
